What is social development

Social development is defined as prioritizing human needs in the growth and progression of society. Social development also governs the norms and conventions that govern human interaction. The focus is on improving the lives of regular citizens, especially the poor, to make society a better place for everyone.

Social development refers to how people develop social and emotional skills across their lifespan. Social development can be affected by a child's personality, their opportunities for social interaction, behaviors learned from parents, and developmental disorders, for example a child with short temper and may witness a lot of violence in home may not play well with other children.
